Growing up I always had a “Craft drawer”, full of pipe cleaners, beads, feathers, recycled greeting cards and colored tissue paper. I would spend hours “creating”, designing and making a promise to myself that ONE DAY, my creation would be as famous as Betsy Johnson’s.
So, that didn’t happen- BUT I have managed to aquire impecable taste and have found some women who’s craft projects actually turned into careers. Plus, Urban Outfitters is nice, but I’d rather spend $40 dollars on booze, not a scarf. Lets support the small business’! Hollaa!
If you want to do the one-stop-shop thing, go to Buyolympia.com They have everything from T-shirts, jewelry, journals, books, and stitched gnomes . Also try:
Indie Designer Labels, then no one will be rocking the same outfit you did yesterday.
Now let’s get a little taboo shall we? Ladies, we need to “get ours” too. So many of my girlfriends are too scared to walk into a sex shop and ask where the Vibrators are, “High powered and maybe in the color pink, or purple??” They fear judgement, and scuzzy men. So why not buy online? Smittenkittenonline.com, won’t pop up with graphic porno ads and is easy to navigate: classy and modest. Go on, get down.
Ok, I was attempting not to get pricey, but, I couldn’t help myself….cause where else can you find a necklace with a waving baby?? Only at AnamolyJewelry.com
My personal favorite- So-charmed.com. You’ll find the more unique, kitschy, conversation starting pieces here than anywhere else.
Also try- recycled vintage at: Ornamentalthings.com
Now let’s talk about clothing, accessories are nice but not if you’re naked.
Vintage shopping can be tedious. A PAIN. IN. THE. ASS. Poshgirlvintage.com takes away the ass pain, and makes finding the perfect vintage purse, a piece of cake.
Also try: Vintagevixen.com, and Unique-vintage.com
Feel like wearing something that will help you speak your mind??
Try Radical Rags, tell us which candidate you support or what kind of activist you are.
Happy shopping ladies!!
